Refugees International Outraged by Summary Killing of Renee Nicole Good

Statement from Refugees International: 

“We are outraged by the summary killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer this week. We mourn in solidarity with her family and her community.

We mourn as well the deaths of dozens of others in DHS enforcement actions and detention facilities this year. Heavily armed ICE and Border Patrol paramilitary forces are the ones sowing terror in American communities – not the people protesting them. We condemn their campaign of violence and intimidation.

Refugees International was founded on the principle that forcibly displaced people – like all people – deserve dignity and protection. The abusive raids in U.S. communities are aimed at extinguishing that principle. We refuse to accept that. We will not be silent.

These raids must end. The abuses must end. And those responsible for unleashing this violence on U.S. communities must be held to account.”
